The 1950s was a turning point for
Libertyville; the town was growing up, transitioning from a quaint
farming community into a vibrant upper-middle class suburban village.
Mr. Carl Cizek documented this change in a series of photographs.
Recaptured today, the images, paired with colorful captions, offer a
visual journey of a maturing town.

This book is filled with rare
photographs, postcards and interesting facts. Beginning in the 1800s, it
chronicals Libertyville's businesses, industry, schools, and community
fun through the mid-20th century

Mundelein celebrates the village's
100-year history, the inventiveness and drive of its people, the
landmarks that made Mundelein unique, and the life of a village that
has been a beautiful home to so many throughout the years.
